We have an old Filemaker pro runtime file that was made in version 6. 
We can convert it to a an fp7 file using Filemaker Pro 8.5 but for
some reason, it appears to have a password that doesn't allow us to
see the data or import the data into a new database.

Looking for someone who can either help us access the data and/or
provide us with a method of accessing the data.  The question is
considered answered when we have the old data.

Hello dbdeveloper,

To access the password, all you need is a password recovery tool. The
cheapest one available for Filemaker Pro that I could find, that comes
with a 30 day back money guaruntee is here:
http://www.intelore.com/filemaker-password-recovery.php

You can download a demo of the product here that will tell you whether
or not it will work here:
http://www.intelore.com/filemaker/filemaker-password-recovery.exe
(it will give you the partial password, which will either trigger the
full password from memory, or will provide you with confirmation that
the file is intact and it is worth the full version).

Remember there is a 30 day money back guarantee. 

Good luck! Let me know if this doesn?t work and I will do my best to
further assist you.

None of the tools provided or suggested work - both had already been
provided.  The tools indicate that there is no password but when
trying to open the db in Filemaker pro, the system still requires a
password.

Is this wanted to be done on Macintosh or some version of Windows?  Or
doesn't it matter?

You could try a password cracking service or program:
